Someones made a one-of-a-kind Greggs inspired chessboard that lets you play with pasties
Chess is a wonderful way to exercise your mind and kill time when the internets down.
But – whisper it – it can also be quite boring.
Its hard to care about a game when you arent emotionally connected with your pieces, you know? Were not too bothered about our knights and pawns – not the same way we care about the thimble and Scottie dog when we play Monopoly.
Someone may have come up with a solution.
A Greggs employee has been so inspired by the thrill of pasties that theyve decided to mash up Greggs with good old Chess, making a one-of-a-kind Greggs inspired chessboard.
Crafted entirely out of clay, the model features Greggs classics as the chess pieces, including sausage rolls, yum yums, doughnuts, and gingerbread men.
Sadly, the pieces are inedible, as theyre made out of clay. Wed recommend doing a Greggs haul before you settle into your game in case playing with a tiny sausage roll makes you peckish.

The creator of the chess set is Rachael Dorward, 39, who works as a warehouse supervisor at Greggs manufacturing site in Longbenton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Rachael previously volunteered at Sure Start Centres, showing children how to make things with clay, so shes skilled in the crafty side of things.

Sadly the chess set is just a one-off, so you cant buy your own or have a play at your local Greggs branch, but who knows, maybe the excitement will get Greggs to delve into the board game industry. Were hopiRead More – Source
